Honestly when heard the name of this cafe, I assumed it to be a small cafe. When reached, I was amazed with the capacity and the decor. It is moraccan style themed cafe with a shamiyana and low sitting area to enjoy sheesha royally. 

Food : With their amazing decor I expected the food to be awesome too, yes it was worth. They only serve veg and some egg items on menu. We had following items : 

1) Peri Peri Fries : Crisp, hot fries tossed with Peri Peri spices served with 3 dips. Kept classical!

2) Crumb Fried Chilli Poppers : These 6 tiny bombs spicy enough served with a dip were amazing. The stuffing comprises cheese, chillies. Wish we could have drinks to go with this.

3) Eggs Benedict : These two wonderful poached eggs on muffins with a buttery hollandaise sauce is just a great breakfast item. Highly recommended!!

4) Penne Pasta with Alfredo sauce : Pasta does not always come great in most restaurants, however here I found a better one. So I can rely on them for my Pasta cravings. 

5) Thai Curry : Green Thai Curry (veg) served with steamed rice. Totally aromatic, flavourful. I am always up for Thai food and had to try this here as well. 

6) Javachip Frappucino : This one is the winner item here! What a perfect drink that should give a stiff competition to Starbucks Javachip Frappucino. Highly recommended!!

7) Strawberry Rose Smoothie : Very well made with Strawberry and Rose syrup. A bit heavy on stomach, however totally refreshing! 

8) Mix Berry Smoothie : All berries made in a delicious smoothie, quite yummy and refreshing one.

9) Belgian Waffles : Warm waffles with Belgian Chocolate and a whipped cream on top. You can not deny this sweet goodness after your food.

10) Smooth & Silk Chocolate Cake : Quite heavy pastry but very delicious, you will be done in half portion.

Ambiance : If you are in hurry and want to have a quick snack and a coffee, head over Above & Beyond. The decor at ground level is quite catchy. Live kitchen shows how it is being made and you can play some card games or read some books. If you want to enjoy Sheesha, go on top floor and sit in the shamiyana. A huge projection screen telecasts live sports events so relax and chill and enjoy hukkah with your gang. The moroccan theme is totally perfect for this place. I loved the upper area with all those low height tables, you sit in the lower sofas and cushions and relax.

Service : I found the service to be a bit slow, neverthless the servers were kind and very courteous. 

Overall, the place is very good option if you want to hang out with your friends for a live sport events. Or a lazy afternoon to enjoy for a quiet hangout session. Loved the food and drinks specially. I will surely plan for a next event with my gang.
